I have to say there’s a strange fixation on making ICE quieter. EV’s are so quiet you have to add things to them to make a little noise so they don’t run people over. I’d much rather see cities move towards EV and build out EV infra than try to figure out how to make Rube Goldberg machines more complex to reduce their noise by 10%, while not addressing the rest of the ills.
There are non trivial problems to solve with EV in the city. Solve those instead of propping up age of fire dinosaur juice machines.
